We’re headed to Disney Springs in 2026! Of course, we LOVE the theme parks at Disney World, but do not sleep on the dining and shopping district of the resort. Disney Springs has so many underrated and overlooked gems. So whether you’re planning a non-park day or you’re an Annual Passholder filling a blackout day, you need to visit Disney Springs.

While you’re at Disney Springs, you’ll see so many restaurants and snack spots. You likely can’t go wrong with any of them, but we definitely have our favorites. If you have picky eaters, are going out for a date, or need to stick to a budget, we’ve got you covered.

Best for Families

eet by Maneet Chauhan

Eet by Maneet Chauhan is a quick-service restaurant that serves up “traditional [Indian] flavor with modern flair.” It’s a hidden gem that the whole family will love. You’ll find remixed takes on favorites like Pimento Whipped Paneer or the Tandoori Chicken Poutine. There’s plenty of seating here, and the food has a cozy home-cooked feel.

While we love eet, it is important to know that if you have a picky eater in the family, you may want to opt for one of the other restaurants in this list. The flavors at eet are Indian-inspired, meaning they have big, bold, and bright flavors that you won’t find anywhere else in Disney World.

Summer House on the Lake

Summer House on the Lake is great for families because there’s so much here! You can get lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and on-the-go breakfast. There’s an attached cookie bar bakery, three different bars, and a rosé bar (rosé all day, am I right?).

The food is California-style with a breezy beach atmosphere. You can grab flavorful salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and more made with garden-fresh ingredients and seasonal Florida ingredients. There’s something here for everyone, even if you’re a picky eater, and it’s all done very well.

Earl of Sandwich

Earl of Sandwich is not unique to Disney World, but it is a great budget-friendly and family-friendly option. It offers reasonably priced hot sandwiches, wraps, salads, smoothies, lemonade, and prepared “Grab & Go” items. Plus, you can get kid favorites like mac & cheese, tater tots, and grilled cheeses. One of our favorites is the Holiday Turkey Sandwich; it’s pretty much a Thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. DELISH.

Best for Adults

Homecomin’ Shine Bar and Social

We already LOVE Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin‘, and Homecomin’ Shine Bar and Social is very similar to the main restaurant. However, the Shine Bar is a great place for adults only. We will say, brunch here is our favorite. But you really can’t go wrong dining here any time of the day.

You can enjoy the fantastic food off the main menu (like juicy and tender fried chicken of your dreams) AND moonshine-based cocktails in the outdoor seating area or on the go. You will also leave dreaming about their Cheddar Cheese Drop Biscuits.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

Technically, Jock Linsey’s Hangar Bar is family-friendly, but we know adults will love hanging out here, grabbing some eats, and a few specialty drinks. The lounge is based around the oft-trusted pilot for Indiana Jones, and it serves uniquely themed cocktails and tapas – like the Air Pirate’s Cargo Loaded Pretzel, the Snakebite Sliders (“Why did it have to be snakes?”), the vodka-based Reggie’s Revenge Cocktail, and SO MUCH MORE.

They also release some of the most incredible themed food and drinks around Halloween and the Holidays.

If you are visiting around that time, we highly recommend stopping here to check them out.

It is important to note that Jock Lindsey’s does not take reservations.

Wine Bar George

Wine Bar George is a great place to grab a glass of wine, a bite to eat, and people-watch from the upstairs balcony seating area (there are indoor seating options, too). There are HUNDREDS of wine options, but if you have a hard time picking just one (or two), the servers are trained to help you find the perfect wine for you.

The food here ranges from small plates (like hummus and crispy Mac and cheese bites) to charcuterie boards to family-style plates. You can also get brunch here on Saturdays and Sundays, just be sure to grab a reservation!

Best on a Budget

The Polite Pig

Get Michelin-recognized Modern Barbecue in a variety of wood-fired smoked and grilled items at a budget-friendly price! The Polite Pig could totally fall under family-friendly favorites, too.

It has great options for everyone in the family, including a kids’ menu featuring smoked turkey, chicken tenders, and mac & cheese. And for the adults, ALL drinks are served on tap!

Morimoto Asia Street Food

If the signature restaurant, Morimoto Asia, isn’t in your budget, but you really want to try some of iconic Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s Pan-Asian cuisine, then stop by the quick-service counter, Morimoto Asia Street Food, instead! You’ll find options ranging from $5 to $18, including noodles, sushi, bao, salmon, and skewers.

Best for Date Night

Splitsville Luxury Lanes

Looking for a casual date night option? Check out Splitsville Luxury Lanes! You can play several rounds of bowling while dining on upscale pub grub. You’ll find a pineapple Dole Whip pina colada, pizza, burgers, and more here.

Plus, you don’t have to play to dine or dine to play. But when you make the reservation, make sure you clarify exactly what you want to do — play, dine, or both.

The Edison

If you’re looking for a place to go on your date night that is less casual but still relaxed and fun, try The Edison! This spot has an industrial-gothic 1920s theme and features a menu with classic American food presented in modern ways. But what really makes The Edison a great date night option is all the fun drinks and events.

You can get an old-timey soda, a non-alcoholic beverage, or a high roller cocktail and stop by for a cocktail or mixology class with your date. Check out The Edison’s website to find out what events will be hosted in 2026.

Best for Brunch

Raglan Road

The Rollicking Raglan Brunch is served up on Saturdays and Sundays. You’ll find menu items such as pancakes, avocado toast, and Eggs Benedict, but they’ll be way elevated (and with witty names that’ll make you chuckle), making them far superior to your local diner. Plus, since the brunch is served on the weekend, you’ll get to enjoy your meal AND river dancing and live Irish music up on the main stage.

The BOATHOUSE

Consider a nautical-themed brunch with live entertainment for your next brunch experience! The Boathouse hosts the Captain’s Sing-Along Brunch, during which you can sing and request songs from dueling piano players. (Not every room has the piano players, but if you end up in a room without them, you’ll still enjoy light, themed music).

You can also enjoy tasty brunch items with a nautical twist, such as Crab Cakes Benedict, along with chorizo breakfast tacos, and the Biscoff cookie waffle.

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’

As we previously mentioned, we’re big fans of Homecomin’. It doesn’t have the same live entertainment during brunch as The Boathouse and Raglan Road, but the fantastic, home-cooked food makes up for that. You get to enjoy a limited-time brunch menu with good ol’ southern specialities, like the fried chicken and donuts, short rib hash, and a heaping biscuits and gravy plate.

We think you’ll be pleased wherever you go for a bite at Disney Springs, but when you’re headed there in 2026, give these top restaurants a try! We’ve enjoyed LOTS of meals at each of these, and they are hands down some of our favorites. For more dining inspiration, keep following Disney Food Blog, where food IS a theme park.
